Watch: Ben Affleck Calls Jon Stewart a "Copycat" on 'The Daily Show'

Ben Affleck came on “The Daily Show” Tuesday night to promote his hot starrer “Gone Girl,” which opens this Friday. But it wasn’t long before the soon-to-be “Batman” star brought up some beef with Jon Stewart.

Watch as Affleck (jokingly? enviously?) points a finger at Stewart for also directing a movie about Iran, as Affleck compares Stewart’s “Rosewater,” about detained journalist Maziar Bahari, to his 2013 Best Picture winner “Argo.” That film was about the CIA’s late-70s attempt to rescue six US diplomats from Tehran. “Rosewater” could be an award contender this year.
